Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Lasik? No thanks. In the 80-90s people were getting radial keratomy and now they have huge rates of blindness. The corneal flap from Lasik never heals for some people.
Yep. There are a lot of procedures in place to make sure that doesn't happen though. Age, thickness of the cornea, naturally dry eyes, etc. There's a whole suite of machines and scopes they poke and prod you with before you're even allowed to pay them $5000 to cut open your eyeballs.
I still regret not waiting a bit longer though. There's a newer version (a new machine really) that uses picosecond wavelength lasers to reshape the cornea without cutting creating a flap at all, so the surgeon only has to make a small slit to pull out the excess from with a special pair of tweezers.
